Experiments with an External Jet Flap

Abstract

A blower-type wind tunnel study was made of several external-jet-flap configurations were tested between end plates. Comparison is also made with a trailing edge jet flap tested under the same conditions. Tests were made at a Reynolds number of 1.7 x 10 to the 5th power and at jet momentum coefficients up to 2.616, through a range of angles of attack from 0 to 35 degrees.
